NAME

ninvaders - ncurses version of space invaders

SYNOPSIS

ninvaders

DESCRIPTION

In short, this is a space invaders game written for the ncurses
terminal control library. It uses ASCII art to draw everything, and
you can play it just about anywhere. Space Invaders over dialup!
To play the game, simply run the program. You will be placed in the
game arena with a large block of aliens. To move your gun pod (at the
bottom of the screen) use the left and right arrow keys. To shoot,
press space. You can move faster if you hold the arrow keys down.
The object of the game is to shoot all the aliens (the multi-coloured
moving things) before they reach the ground. Since these aliens aren't
friendly (which is why you're trying to stop them) they will shoot
back. Dodge the descending bullets or hang about under the large
stationary blocks for cover.
